It asks how the shifting cultural values of Austen and the vampire have aligned, and what their connection might mean for their respective contemporary legacies. It also makes a case for reading \"low brow\" Austen fanfic attentively, as a way to gain meaningful insight directly from Austen fans into the tensions and anxieties surrounding contemporary notions of love, sex, femininity, and Austen's modern currency. Offering close readings of Austen's vampire-slaying heroines, vampiric retellings of \u003ci\u003ePride and Prejudice\u003c\/i\u003e, and the transformation of Austen herself into a vampire, this book reveals Austen-vampire mashups as messy, complex entanglements that creatively and self-reflexively interrogate modern fantasies of vampire romance. By its unique intersection of Jane Austen with the vampire, the Gothic, fan culture and popular romance, \u003ci\u003eJane Austen and Vampires\u003c\/i\u003e adds a new chapter to the history of Austen's reception, for fans, students and scholars alike.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eric Parisot\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/03\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 123\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.38d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783031492853\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEric Parisot\u003c\/b\u003e is a Senior Lecturer in English at the College of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences, Flinders University (Adelaide, Australia).
